Origin of name[edit]

Stupid question I know; but is forty foot referring to the width, or height, or something else? —Sladen (talk) 21:01, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've often wondered this myself, and haven't been able to find the answer from any locals! Any takers? D. Lion West (talk) 22:08, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment[edit]

Tricky, because there is a main page for the south forty, but not for the others. I've left it as a 'start' for now, but added some projects that might be able to help. If the water-babies feel that their project overrides the geo-bashers, I see no reason not to remove it.--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 07:15, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
